Picayune Recovery

Due to a thunderstorm on Thursday night (August 4), the power went out (a common occurrence in Austin) but then the whole site was kaputski! Oh the poetic justice many of my customers would enjoy knowing of my misfortune (as you know, I have to give bad news in the form of “You need to back it up or restore from your backup. Oh, you don’t have one and you’re screwed? Bummer”).

Not so that night! The computer gods were on my side for I pushed my resourcefulness and (what little) patience I demonstrated. I’ll just give you the short version though, I managed to delete certain files, restore others and fix the permissions accordingly. Those who need the long version, I have it documented down and I need to hand it over to Apple’s appropriate channels to see if they care. Once again, I proved that I am not as dumb as I look nor as my age states since the computer business is notorious for agist discrimination. At least the false message the browsers were giving me were a decent foundation for me to eventually figure out the problem.
